Puerto Rico - Pro Tips

You don’t need a passport to explore beautiful island cultures. Puerto Rico was recently named a top destination to visit by The New York Times and we couldn’t agree more. Each of us at Compass and Globe lives or has lived on the Isla del Encanto (Island of Enchantment) and it holds a special place in our hearts. San Juan offers many options, even for a quick getaway but we are partial to the west side of the island. It’s a hub of small, local businesses that are keeping Puerto Rican roots at the forefront. With such insider knowledge, we can help with everything from the best surf breaks to where to grab fresh-baked pastries and local coffee.

Pro Tips

• Renting a car is an easy way to explore off the beaten path. You can drive across the island in only a couple of hours.

• You can find several local markets across the island. On the west side, Aguadilla Farmers Market on Saturdays and Rincon Farmers Market on Sundays have your weekend produce and artisan needs covered.

• Vegetarians and vegans can find plenty of dining options, as quite a few restaurants offer these items on their menus.
